wishing for marfa.







I have an unrealized dream of spending a week in Marfa, TX -- appreciating Donald Judd's collection, taking photos, and just doing nothing.

We met with a client this morning about branding some prefab housing, and he brought samples of the printed materials from the Thunderbird Hotel in Marfa. Now I know where I'll be staying when I finally do visit.

I am DYIN' to see Marfa! I am just so drawn to the idea of people completely making over some "nowhere" town. This just adds to the dream!

...keeps getting better and better! We stayed at thunderbird the first time but we have been renting a small adobe casita the past two times. Enjoy!

I have been hearing so much about Marfa lately. I may need to visit one day and I too will stay here.
